1 Therefore setting aside all wickedness, and all artifice, and dissimulation; and envies, and all calumnies, 2 As new born babes, long for the sincere milk pertaining to the word, that ye might be nourished with it: 3 If ye have tasted that the Lord is good. 4 To whom approaching, a living stone, truly disapproved of by men, and chosen by God, highly valued, 5 And ye yourselves are built, as living stones, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to bring up spiritual sacrifice; acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it holds in the writing, Behold, I place in Zion a corner stone, chosen, highly valued: and he believing on him shall not be ashamed. 1 Peter 2:1-6, Smith's Literal Translation.
